"Old Glory"

Massachussetts sea captain William Driver named his personal flag Old Glory.
 
or

"is famous name was coined by Captain Stephen Driver, a shipmaster of Salem, Massachusetts, in 1831. As he was leaving on one of his many voyages aboard the brig CHARLES DOGGETT - and this one would climax with the rescue of the mutineers of the BOUNTY - some friends presented him with a beautiful flag of twenty four stars. As the banner opened to the ocean breeze for the first time, he exclaimed "Old Glory!""

The Sixth Ohio Regiment cheered and saluted - and later adopted the nickname "Old Glory" as their own, telling and re-telling the story of Captain Driver's devotion to the flag we honor yet today.
 
OK, everyone stop... LOL website had a TYPO, (yep, I forgot, too!) Had his ship listed instead... First to William Driver IS the winner, LOL MY BAD!!! Jeez, what a way to start! :o Ok, let's see....
 
Yeah... both are quoted. William Driver comes up first but Stephen Driver is a close second on the 'net.

Only Mrs. Driver knows for sure! ;)
 
I am off to work all, Jaxx have fun with the contests. If I can I will log in from work but I think tonight will be a busy one.
Happy New Year everyone.
 
Charles Bronson dubbed the flag 'Ol' Glory' in a poker match with Sam Elliot, after the they succeeded from the Union with Tom Selleck. This was right after Wang Chi said, "Here’s to the Army and Navy, and the battles they have won. Here’s to America’s colors, the colors that never run." And Jack Burton responded with, "May the wings of Liberty never lose a feather." A great day in American history, if you are really an American.
